Tropical Pepper Company XXtra Hot Habanero Pepper Sauce - 5 oz

I loved this sauce and would love more of this flavor, but I am having trouble finding it. The newer flavors of this brand are to harsh, and over power foods

Our house has several different kinds of hot sauce. This has a wonderful flavor without burning your mouth like some others. I add this to soups or salsa for that little bit of a tang.

price is an issue

Nice hot

Yum

Please note, if you are liking for a really hot, hot sauce, this is NOT it. I originally bought it for that reason, but fell in love with it for its flavor. Fruity and tangy, and a teensy bit spicy (maybe comperable to valentina hot sauce or green tobasco on the spiciness front). I pour copious amounts of this on everything.

I'm a fairly big fan of Tropical Pepper Co.'s hot sauces. Everything from their mild Papaya Curry sauce to their wildly intense Ghost and Scorpion Pepper sauces. For their low price-range, they offer generally great flavor and, if you're looking for it, a good, natural-feeling burn. But their Habanero sauces just don't do anything for me.I've said in other reviews that a big issue I have with other hot sauces are that often, their ingredients will betray the flavor and heat in an unforgivable way. (Such as Tabasco and it's overwhelming notes of vinegar that overpower the pepper flavors and ruin the sauce.) And that's definitely a problem here. This sauce is supposed to contain crushed Habanero and Pineapple, but you can't taste them. At all. All you can taste is that darned Acetic Acid. It stings your mouth with it's vinegary tang and makes it impossible to pick up on any of the notes and flavors of the pepper and pineapple.In addition, this is advertised as a very hot sauce... but it's not hot. At all. If you're even SLIGHTLY accustomed to spicy foods and sauces, then you probably won't even notice the burn. I slowly ate about five large soup-spoon-fulls in a row earlier, making sure to let it touch every part of my mouth, tongue and gums completely for at least 30 seconds, trying to feel some sort of burn... and I felt nothing outside of that annoying vinegar taste. Definitely not what it's advertised to be.But still, it's not a total loss. I found that when mixed with other sauces in dishes, it can work to an extent, which is what earns it an extra point. But don't expect too much out of this sauce. It's a let-down.(And a follow-up... don't order this on Amazon. This same bottle that costs $12 here only cost me $2 at my local grocery store.)
